Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John McClane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sean Carter Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McClane's entrance music is Refuse/Resist. A fine choice. Williams has chosen Hollywood Undead - Been to Hell as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
